1: You need to work on a higher knee drive down the runway. Pull the ground underneath you (think like an ostrich), don't push off with feet.

2: A better knee drive will allow you to take off strong. I can see the pole lifting you off the ground instead of you jumping UP and driving off the ground. You're generating minimal power on the runway and take-off, so you're going to have minimal power on the swing up and zero power for everything else after that.

Thank you! Is there any drills that I should work on? I'm trying to qualify for states and tie the school record which is ten feet!
